It may be a stupid question but I I earnestly don't know

Yeah, that isn't a good metric. My favorite artist of all time has 5 albums on there all in the 00's, but his greatest works and albums are from the 70s and 80s.
He has won 12 Grammy Awards (one of them a Lifetime Achievement Award) and five Album of the Year Grammy nominations. He is one of only six artists to have won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year more than once as the main credited artist. In 1998 he was entered in the Grammy Hall of Fame

So, I still don't know how many are labeled critically acclaimed, but let's just say he's earned his keep
